La complainte à mon frère

It was in October in St-Joseph d'Alma
Despite my life being sober, it should end here
And my mother's pain to God, goodbye to all my relatives
Here I am leaving you today for a long time
Listen to my story young man who has traveled
I always remember having eternity
Death can appear without you expecting it
With its treacherous hand, it could strike you
It was in October in St-Joseph d'Alma
Despite my life being sober, it should end here
At my brother's home, come have my supper
I wasn't expecting to see you all
When we come back from life, we are bigger, stronger
And then we laugh at having been afraid of death
Hope has just been reborn, it's up to us to keep it
Push away the false masters, that's eternity
Fight the false masters, that's freedom
